You must have an account with Google to use this resource. This resource works very well either in your classroom, or with distance learning or homeschooled students, with Google Classroom.

This includes three short Google Form Quizzes you can use to help your students practice solving proportion problems. Proportions or proportional relationships are equations that have a ratio on both sides. The ratios are equivalent.

With these problems, students are looking at pairs of ratios to see if a proportion exists. They will determine this using cross-multiplication. For example, consider 16/48 = 5/16. Multiply the numerator of the first ratio, 16, times the denominator of the second ratio, 16; 16 x 16 = 256. Multiply the denominator of the first ratio, 48, times the numerator of the second ratio, 5; 48 x 5 = 240. 256 does not equal 240, so the two ratios are not equivalent, and a proportional relationship does not exist.

Use it to check your students’ understanding after they have received a lesson on identifying proportional relationships (Grade 6 Proportion Problems Guided Notes 2). They can follow up with Grade 6 Proportion Problems Check In 4, which will have them identifying proportional relationships in word problems.

6.RP.A.3 Proportion Problems Check In 3 includes four questions. 6.RP.A.3 Proportion Problems Check In 3a and 6.RP.A.3 Proportion Problems Check In 3b each include two of the questions. Every question is required and the students’ work is graded on the spot.

Good times to use this:

1) Review from older concepts

2) Warmup for the day

3) Application of knowledge (middle or end of the period)
